How to make a graph scroll with time?

Hi,
I need to have my graph constantly shifting to the right as the time goes by. So it's X-axis (time) is constantly updated to reflect the new data (at that particular time),

You should look to use a chart, particularly a strip chart. It is in
the same palette as the graph and it mimics a paper chart recorder.

Note that if you need to update with different numbers of points,
have gaps in the chart, etc. You may also want to look at using
the waveform datatype wired to the chart. Arrays do not contain
timing information for the points, so they are computed assuming
they are evenly spaced. The waveform allows for arbitrarily
sampled data, but is new to version 6.0.
